La Befana

What’s your handle?
Where’s your candle?
Fingers fleshy
Roman sandals

Now the moment.
Then the minute,
While we’re oblivious
To know we’re in it.

Exaltation
Violation
Knee deep vantage
Visitation.

Since it happened,
Wondrous clues.
Close the curtain.
Spill the news.

Walk with strangers
In ones and twos.
Carpet bagging
Voices nagging

Forecast often
Dance the dance
Satin coffin
In your pants

Onward
Upward
Forward
Reward
